- Summary
- On certain boat trailers equipped with a mono-leaf based suspension system, the mounting hardware could loosen allowing the spring to flex at the apex of its radius, and at a point where there is a mounting index hole.
- Consequence
- This flexing could lead to premature failure of the spring allowing the trailer to sag on one or both sides, causing tires to rub against the fender and mis-align the wheels.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the mono-leaf spring based suspension system with a multi-leaf spring based suspension system. Owner notification began October 15, 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact ez loader at 1-509-489-0181.
- Notes
- Ez loader recall no. Idh & 1L8.CUSTOMERS can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

Has your EZ Loader been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A EZ Loader dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
